Give my love to Julius and Ludovic. Tell them I will come into the Chapel-Room after dinner to-night. What my child, are you so very glad? Kiss me. God keep you. Now I will rest." Helen de Vallorbes rose from her knees and slipped out from under the greasy and frayed half-curtain of the confessional box. The atmosphere of that penitential spot had been such as to make her feel faint and dizzy.
The long-lingering sunlight poured through the "turkey-red" that she had tacked up for a half-curtain, and over this, one saw the slouch-hats and fur caps of the outside crowd. Clutching Judge Corey by the arm, Maudie pulled him after her into the narrow space behind the head-board and the wall. "It was here see?" She stooped down.
The whole scene the clean kitchen and its clean brick floor; the smell of coffee that lingered in the air; Trina herself, fresh as if from a bath, and singing at her work; the morning sun, striking obliquely through the white muslin half-curtain of the window and spanning the little kitchen with a bridge of golden mist gave off, as it were, a note of gayety that was not to be resisted.
Strength mingled subtly with gentleness. As we made our way to the stone balcony of a house overlooking the Ganges, he said affectionately: "I will give you my hermitages and all I possess." "Sir, I come for wisdom and God-contact. Those are your treasure-troves I am after!" The swift Indian twilight had dropped its half-curtain before my master spoke again. His eyes held unfathomable tenderness.
She borrowed a broom, I remember, and cleaned out the I room herself. I explained how things were with me, and that I ought to have been on my back THEN! She was the cleanest soul I ever saw, she washed out the very bureau drawers, and she took the little half-curtain down, it was quite black, we used to keep that window open a good deal.
"It must have been somebody who knowed where you kept the stuff." "N-no." Her red eyes wandered miserably, restlessly, to the window. Over the red half-curtain French Charlie and Butts looked in. They had not been to the meeting. Maudie's face darkened as she caught sight of the Canadian. "Oh, yes, you can crow over me now," she shouted shrilly above the buzz of comment and suggestion.
"Now that is kind and thoughtful of you," declared the other. "With all your silliness, you're not half a bad sort. Gertie, go in and lay the table." Miss Radford, after inspecting the new-comer over the half-curtain, decided to leave, although, as she pointed out, this was an opportunity for enjoying her company that rarely occurred.
